Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: In March 2024, pro-Palestine protesters shut down Espaillat's office, accusing him of taking $30,000+ from AIPAC while supporting policies that cause Palestinian suffering. Multiple arrests were made. In 2025, Justice Democrats recruited a primary challenger explicitly running against Espaillat's AIPAC funding. Espaillat has not issued a public statement directly addressing the contradiction between his progressive identity and his AIPAC funding. During this period, he has been active on press releases and public statements on other topics.
